This book illuminates the crucial role photography played from the
very beginning of the Russian colonial presence in Central Asia and
its entanglement with the orientalist legacy that followed. Inessa
Kouteinikova examines these under-studied materials while also
addressing the photographic market and reception of photography in
the Russian Empire, the position of the popular press, the place of
public exhibitions and emergence of the first ethnographic museums
that took pace from Moscow to Tashkent during the time of the
Russian conquest. This book embraces the dominant mode for
representing the new colonial territories in the
mid-late-19th-century Russia, by outlining the technical,
commercial and artistic milieus during the Golden Age of Russian
orientalism. The book will be of interest to scholars working in
art history, history of photography and Russian studies.
